Disaster & Disease Prepareness: Advice & Help

• Think about what you need to know if you are a parent, employee or student. You may need to have in hand information about insurance, leave policies, working from home, possible loss of income, and what to do about work if you become ill.
  
  
• Meet with colleagues and your family and make lists of things you need to know and actions you may take.
  
  
• Find volunteers who want to help people in need, such as elderly neighbors, single parents of small children, and/or people without the resources to get the medical help they need.
  
  
• Identify other information resources in your community.
  
  
• Find support systems – people who are dealing with the issues that concern you. Share ideas.
